  • the 0CM 14 includes a printed circuit board (PCB) 15 and a housing 16 which encloses an electric circuit 40 (seen in Fig. 5) mounted on the PCB 15.
  • the circuit 40 includes output terminals formed as PCB track pads 18 arranged about apertures 17 that each pass through the PCB 15.
  • the apertures 17 are arranged to permit insertion of the bolts 12 therethrough.
  • a pair of nuts 22 can be used to secure the PCB 15 directly to the terminals 12 thus mounting the OCM 14, and for a direct electrical connection between the input of the transformer 10 and the OCM 14.
  • An earth connection can be made using an earth connection lug 21 and a nut 26 in the known manner.
  • the OCM 14 is supplied directly by an active 19 and a neutral 20 lead of a mains supply which connect to a pair of mains connection bolts 23 using lugs 24 and corresponding nuts (not illustrated for clarity). It will be apparent that this arrangement simplifies the configuration of a neon display system in that the OCM 14 is directly electrically connected to, and mounted upon the transformer 10, thus eliminating the need for the installing technician to run additional cable between the OCM 14 and transformer 10, as in the prior art. Accordingly, this configuration can permit savings to be made both in respect of labour costs, and materials, such as cable and lug-type connectors.
  • Figs. 3A and 3B Seen in Figs. 3A and 3B is the PCB 15 upon which the circuit 40 is mounted.
  • the circuit 40 outputs to the pair of track pads 18 which surround the apertures 17 through which the bolts 12 are insertable. Accordingly, by screwing the- nuts 22 onto the bolts 12 to contact the pads 18, direct connection to the PCB 15 is made by the input terminals of the transformer 10. Also the mains connection bolts 23 are arranged to similarly pass through mains pads 25 in the manner shown.
  • FIG. 4A and 4B An arrangement such as that shown in Figs. 4A and 4B can alternatively be used where a printed circuit board 301s shown having OCM output pads 32 arranged about apertures 31 as before, and vertically oriented mains connection bolts 33 and corresponding pads 35.

  • a capacitor 49 is arranged to filter the voltage across the transistor 51.
  • a resistor 52 is provided between the base of the transistor 51 and the neutral output of the circuit 40, and operates to prevent the transistor 51 drawing excessive current through its base.
  • the transistor 51 is configured to provide either a logic HIGH or a logic LOW to the input of an inverter 53 which outputs to a triac triggering device 54.
  • the triggering device 54 provides for an isolated trigger of a triac 55 which allows for switchable connection of the active at the input, to the active of the output.
  • the triac 55 When power is supplied to the input, the triac 55 is initially off and no current passes to the output for supplying to the transformer input.

  • the triac trigger device 54 is preferably an MOC3041 device which connects to a resistor 56 which senses voltage supply to the active output. With this configuration, the trigger device 54 can sense the switching off of the triac 55 due to an open circuit and maintain the triac 55 switched off in spite of the input of the inverter 53 subsequently going HIGH after the switching off of the transformer 10 primary.

  • the output pins 76 are also secured within the channel 67 by the fixing screws 68.
  • the pins can be replaced by bolts in which the head is soldered to the track pad 75 and the shank extends rearward through an aperture in the track pad 75 as in the previous embodiments.
  • the current sensing resistor 50 provides for the sensing a range of lower limits of current such that if the limit is exceeded, the open circuit monitor operates to protect the secondary of the transformer.
  • a single resistor 50 can be configured to provide a operating low current range of 0.5-1.5 amps, 1.5-2.5 amps, 2.5-3.5 amps, or 3.5-4.5 amps. It will be apparent from the foregoing that the range of minimum currents actually sensed is limited by the value of the resistor 50 and the power it can dissipate. Furthermore, in each of the above examples, the range is only of 1 ampere which in some applications Is considered unduly restrictive.
  • under voltage protection limit it is desirable therefore to extend the under voltage protection limit to a lower current value thereby permitting the neon lighting system to be more tolerant to under voltage fluctuations in power supply systems. Similarly, an increase in the maximum value will ensure reduced susceptabi 1 ity to over-voltage transients that can cause momentary increases in primary winding current.

  • Open circuit monitoring is provided by a current monitor 106 which is configured using a coil 107 arranged between the active output 83 and the triac 104.
  • the coil 107 generates a magnetic field that interacts with a Hall effect sensor 108.
  • the sensor 108 has a sensing lead output 114 which couples via a capacitor 109 to the base of the transistor 93.
  • the current monitor 106 is formed from a toroid 110 about which the coil 107 is wound.
  • the toroid 110 includes an air gap 111 within which is placed the Hall effect sensor 108.
  • the Hall effect sensor 108 When the triac 104 switches ON and current passes through the coil 107, a magnetic field is established within the toroid 110 which is sensed by the Hall effect sensor 108 which outputs a voltage linearly dependent upon the magnetic field.
  • the Hall effect sensor 108 is provided with a positive supply lead 112 and a negative supply lead 113 which connect to the supplies 91 and 92 respectively.

  • the regulator 90 In operation, when power is supplied to the inputs 81 and 82, the regulator 90 enables each of the supplies 91,92. Because the triac 104 is initially OFF, no current flows is sensed by the current monitor 16. As the capacitor 99 is initially unchanged, the inverters 100 and 101 trigger the device 103. This then enables the triac 104 to turn ON Interconnecting the active input 81 with the active output 83. Under normal operating conditions, the sensed output 114 fluctuates at 50Hz (for 50Hz supplies, 60Hz for 60Hz supplies) to periodically switch the transistor 93 off which causes a periodic LOW output from the inverter 97. This causes discharging of the capacitor 99 through the diode 98.
  • the transistor 93 will be biased ON via the resistor 94 which causes the inverter 97 to output a high voltage which is blocked by the diode 98. Accordingly, the charge voltage on the capacitor 99 increases and causes the inverters 100 and 101 to provide a high voltage at the resistor 102 which acts to switch the triggering device 103 to switch the triac 104 OFF.
  • the low current operating range of those described previously with the reference to Fig. 5 can be substantially increased such the previous minimum levels can be reduced by approximately 50% and the maximum levels increased to approximately 5 amperes.
  • the actual low current switching level is set by component values that can be determined by those skilled in the art.
  • Overcurrent protection is provided by an air gap in the HT transformer resulting in a high magnetic reluctance and the relatively high resistance of the secondary winding. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the electronic circuits of Figs. 5 and 8, whilst specifically configured for 240V 50 Hz supply, can be easily reconfigured and adapted for 120V 60 Hz supplies such as used in the United States.

Abstract

On décrit un dispositif de contrôle en circuit ouvert (14) dont la configuration lui permet de détecter un état de sous-intensité dans un enroulement primaire d'un transformateur (10), cet état étant provoqué par un état de circuit ouvert de l'enroulement secondaire. La configuration du dispositif de contrôle (14) permet de le monter directement sur les bornes (12) du transformateur (10), de sorte qu'il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser des câbles d'interconnexion entre le dispositif de contrôle (14) et le transformateur (10). Une alimentation par secteur est directement connectée aux bornes d'entrée (23) du dispositif de contrôle (14). On décrit également un dispositif de contrôle détecteur de courant (106) qui détecte l'état de sous-intensité de courant sans utiliser une résistance (50) connectée en série à l'enroulement primaire. Le dispositif de contrôle détecteur de courant (106) se présente de préférence sous la forme d'un détecteur à effet Hall (108). Le dispositif de contrôle en circuit ouvert présente généralement une configuration qui lui permet d'être utilisé avec un transformateur haute tension d'un affichage lumineux à néon.
